Financial Distress and Depressive Symptoms among African American Women
Informed Decision-Making and Colorectal Cancer Screening
BACKGROUND: Current recommendations advise patients to participate in the decision-making for selecting a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening option. The degree to which providers communicate the information necessary to prepare patients for participation in this process is not known. OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of informed decision-making occurring during actual patient-provider communications on CRC screening and test for the association betwe…

Tailored Interventions to Increase Influenza Vaccination in Neighborhood Health Centers Serving the Disadvantaged
Objectives. We designed and evaluated interventions to increase adult immunizations within inner-city health centers. Methods. Interventions included reminders, standing orders, and walk-in “flu shot clinics.” Patients were surveyed and records evaluated. Results. Records from 1 center showed that immunization rates increased from 24% to 30% (P Conclusions. Tailored interventions can improve immunization rates at inner-city health centers

We appreciate Pierce’s and Blackburn’s comment on our article and share their interest in evaluating the effects of privatizing services formerly provided by local health departments.1 A few resources are available, including a workbook that the National Association of County and City Health Officials designed to help local health departments examine their role in the provision of clinical services.2 Also, we recently completed a study of privati…
Managerial and Professional Beliefs Influencing Public Health Privatization
This article describes managerial and professional beliefs underlying decisions to privatize public health services. We drew a stratified, nationally representative sample of local health departments and interviewed 347 department directors by telephone. We used logistic regression to establish the independent effects of various beliefs on the decision to privatize. Over half of directors did not believe that there was valid evidence that privati…
The Role of Qualitative Methods for Investigating Barriers to Adult Immunization
In 1999, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality funded a study of barriers to immunization, which included a short-term qualitative data collection to assess the organizational and cultural features of selected primary care practices and to explore their impact on adult immunization rates. The authors describe the short-term qualitative data collection system and the contributions made by the qualitative study to the parent project. They …
Services Privatized in Local Health Departments
Privatization of public health is seemingly an oxymoron. Functions such as environmental regulation and communicable disease control would seem to be the unique purview of governmental public health departments. These services constitute public goods in that they affect entire communities, whereas personal health services are private goods, privately consumed by individuals.1 Recent pressures such as the penetration of managed care has led to shi…
The Perceived Impact of Privatization on Local Health Departments
Objectives. This article presents nationally representative data on the effects of privatization on local health departments (LHDs). Methods. A stratified representative national sample of 380 LHDs was drawn from a national list of 2488 departments. Telephone interviews were conducted with 347 LHD directors. Results. One half of the directors of LHDs with privatized services reported that privatization helped the performance of core functions. Pr…
Deliberations on the Dissemination of Port Products
This report outlines the activities undertaken by the Inter-PORT Dissemination work group during its first 2 years of operation. The work group's initial purpose was to assist the individual PORTs in developing their plans for both disseminating research findings and evaluating the effectiveness of these strategies. However, it became quickly apparent that in a discipline little more than a decade old, a commonly understood vocabulary had yet to …

Characteristics of Nurse Anesthetists Working With and Without Anesthesiologists
All professionally active certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in four geographically representative states were surveyed by mail and telephone in 1981, and response rate of greater than or equal to 70% was obtained for each state. CRNAs who worked with anesthesiologists (Group I) were compared with those who worked in hospitals with no anesthesiologists (Group II). More than 75% of both groups were employed by hospitals, but Group II …
Contacts with Pharmacists before and after 'Free' Medical Care???the Quebec Experience

Data were obtained from a household survey conducted in Montreal, Canada before and after the introduction of the government sponsored compulsory health insurance program. The report documents the extent to which the citizens of Montreal sought advice about health matters from pharmacis…
